Modi a 'bad politician', spreading lies: Mamata

November 25, 2016 18:45

Stepping up her attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetisation, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today called him "a bad politician and a worse administrator" who is spreading lies and relaxing even as the common people continue to suffer.

"Modi ji has lost all credibility. A bad politician and even worse administrator. He is lying," she said in a statement.

The Trinamool Congress chief, who is at the forefront of the opposition attack against the Modi government on the issue, said, "All opposition is united, and you are divided!"

She also claimed that Rs 1.28 lakh crore had been lost forever due to the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.

"Shocking that Rs 1.28 lakh crore has been lost forever due to note-ban only in 'transactions' in the country, according to CMIE, a top research body. World-famous Moody's says 'note ban will badly disrupt economic activity'," she said.

"Common people are suffering miserably while Modi ji is relaxing and spreading lies," she said.
